Hi, I set up a 30 gallon quarantine tank and had multiple fish survive but also die in it. I realized that my ammonia levels are pretty high so I did 50% water changes, replaced a hanging filter, and even put in a protein skimmer just in case. I removed any floating food and would have thought it would cure the issue. But the ammonia is still high. I also added API quick start, all while I wait for sponges to soak for a few weeks in my main tank so I can add them later.
Any idea on what could be causing ammonia levels to be high and what I can do to fix it? Greatly appreciate your input.
